Self Serve Manny
Mr. Fatty MacBanjostrings decided that we don't feed him enough so he decided on Sunday night that he would just help himself. The scary part is that there were no teeth marks on the bag, which means he made a near perfect L-shaped slice with his claws.
We now are keeping his food in a plastic container. It would not surprise me to find out that he has grown an extra thumb in order to open that as well.
To compensate, our little menace decided to help with some DIY by inspecting the ceiling .......
...and then help us create a 'distressed' look to the banister. Notice his expert sanding method.
We have been putting a lot of auctions on eBay on our continuing mission to downsize our many collections of nerd items. If you have any interests in Sci Fi, music , or entertainment, please let us know because we may have the magazine just for you! It will save us on the 15 pence per listing.
We had an eventful holiday weekend. On Saturday we went to a restaurant in Glasgow called the Mussel Inn. We actually had scallops, but they were wonderful. We also got to see our pals K & J who we do not get to see very often.
Sunday we went to the Edinburgh comedy festival and saw a Mr. Toby do a routine about Doctor Who. It was very funny and in a super cool place that was very much like a cave.
On Monday we had a picnic supper at Muirshiel (as pictured above), which is a park about 20 minutes from here. The midges in the area decided that WE were the picnic, so we ended up eating our supper in the car. However, the view and the drive were lovely all the same.
That is all for now!
Next Issue: Still waiting for suggestions!!!!

What's a "midge"? Or did you mean "midget"?
Dave, I think in Florida, we would call them knats. Except that knats don't tend to bite and midges do. Whoah, that would be so funny if we had to eat in the car because Scottish hillside midgets tried to eat us! Oh man, I am soooo having a nightmare tonight. THANKS LOADS. LOL
Ahem. That would be gnat. And some gnats do bite.
Possible topics:
1. Adventures with socialized medicine
2. Fish and baked beans - for breakfast. AKA the curious world of British/Scottish cuisine. (You know that recipe book you got me has like 15 recipes for fish pie.)
3. Castles I Have Loved(We're doing a unit on the middle ages)
4. Pictures from your trip to Ireland
That's all I've got right now off the top of my head.
"Save me from the wee peoples!"
LOL! I can imagine some idyllic countryside...and suddenly the cast of Time Bandits comes over the hill, pitchforks and torches "a-blazin".
"Midge"...isnt that what the UK tabloids call Madonna? Great...now an image of the cast of Time Bandits dressed in Madonna style bustiers and "wee boy toy" belts.
Hmmm...."Skeeters and the Midges that love them"? Sorta Jerry Springer-esque. "Dr Strangemidge--or how I learned to stop itching and buy calamine lotion"???
Oh yeah...and since Manny is now apparently some sort of contractor....you'll have to teach him to meow out "that's you then..."
Karl, I think that Madonna is Madge? Which to me sounds like someones maid. I do say 'Well that's you then ' to the cat when I am done feeding him as often he looks at me as if there should be a second course.
T, thanks for the suggestions. I shall give them a think so that I can present and entertain if possible. I have no idea what that means. It just popped into my head.
